Thoughts
Let's just start by point out something super obvious. Wake Forest in an ACC team. They may not be upper echelon ACC team, but they are an ACC team nonetheless. I know there are some Spartan fans out there that seem to think that this is a team UNCG should beat. However, I think those people are completely ridiculous.
The Demon Deacons have done a good job of winning games that they should on paper. They are a fairly good shooting team with 2 stud players in CJ Harris and Travis McKie. It will be imperative for David Williams to play a solid defensive game where he can somehow stay out of foul trouble. Also, Wake appears to be vulnerable on the boards. UNCG has done a good job of rebounding on both ends and will need to continue that on Saturday to have a chance.
UNCG will need to do a much better job on the offensive end of playing a little more under control and sharing the ball. The Spartans have spent too much time going 1-on-1 on this recent road trip. It would be nice to see good movement and energy on that end of the court.
It would be nice to see UNCG get a good home win to re-energize a fan base that is really starting to lose confidence in this team and this season. Beating an ACC team would do just that and probably then some.
Go Spartans !!!

A very good point about sharing the ball. We need to start running plays that will get a position open not a specific player. It to easy to defend us when you only have to worry about 2 players. If you are a good player you will get your points, you don't need to force it. You would think that we have a 15 second shot clock at times. If we don't use the clock and we miss alot of poor shots, the more possessions our opponents will get. This is one of the reasons along with poor defensive rotation other teams score way above their average against us.
Great game Trevis Simpson-Best he has looked all year.
